Just spoke with Senator Mike Carrell 28th District about this bill. He let me know that this is up for discussion on Tuesday the 10th at noon in hearing room E. We need to be there to support this bill. I will be willing to drive, I can fit myself and 3 others comfortably in my truck. If we can get this pased thru it will be a big win for us. Lets do something
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.
(1) The fish and wildlife commission must suspend any management plan or planning process for a mammalian apex predator species listed as endangered, threatened, or sensitive in Washington under RCW 77.12.020 if the species in question is not listed as endangered under the federal endangered species act for the entirety of the state of Washington's land mass.
(2) The suspension of any management plan affected by this section may not be lifted unless the fish and wildlife commission amends the plan to be consistent with any regional changes in species status petitioned for under section 2 of this act.
